NEWS Otefest is off but show is still to go ahead O tefest, a music festival planned to be held at Otematata over Labour Weekend, has been postponed indefinitely. Instead, artists scheduled to perform at the event, including Moorhouse of X Factor fame, will play in Oamaru on Saturday night. Otefest event co-ordinator Eugen Dupu said it was a shame Otefest would not be going ahead due to slow ticket sales. ‘‘It’s with regret that we have made the decision not to go ahead with the event at Otematata . . . this decision was made due to a low number of registrations making the event unviable,’’ he said. ‘‘However, there’s a lot of energy and goodwill for providing young people in the Waitaki with an opportunity to enjoy performers such as Moorhouse, DJ Asher, Jordan Edwards and Clutha Dance.’’ Waitaki District Council safety and development facilitator Helen Algar is pleased an alternative has been found. ‘‘While we’re disappointed with the uptake of Otefest registrations we can see the positive in this.
